Alaska — Notary Bonds
Alaska requires a $2,500 notary bond for a regular four-year commission. Arrange the bond before submitting your commission application; a receipt or another insurance policy does not replace the bond itself.

What this bond does
The bond provides security for the regular Alaska notary commission. Each bond covers one commission, with its effective dates determined when the Lieutenant Governor issues that commission.
- Who needs it
- Applicants and renewing notaries seeking a regular Alaska commission. Limited Governmental commissions follow a separate process, so confirm your commission type before purchasing.
- Who it protects
- The public against financial loss caused by notarial misconduct, under the bond's terms. The bond is not personal insurance for the notary and does not cap the notary's overall liability.

The bond amount describes the limit of the bond obligation, not the price. A listed amount does not establish what the requesting party requires. The premium is what you pay and must be confirmed for the actual option. An E&O limit, where listed, is separate errors and omissions insurance.

Questions about this bond
Can I submit a receipt instead of the bond?
No. Alaska requires the bond itself with a regular commission application. Documentation showing a purchase does not replace the required bond.
Do I also need Alaska's blank bond form?
Not when submitting a commercial bond and its supporting documentation. The state says its blank form is for applicants supplying an individual third-party surety.
Do I need another bond when renewing?
Yes. Alaska states that each bond covers one four-year regular commission. Arrange a new bond for the next commission.
Does employer payment give the employer control over my commission?
No. Alaska issues the regular commission to the individual notary. An employer cannot require its revocation simply because the employer paid the related expenses.
